Buoyed by my success the last two days I again set out for the EB in the morning. Fished a riff/run where I had success early in the year and had a big zero the second time around. Today turned out to be sorta in between. There were no olives (or any other bugs for that matter) nor were there any (alright I saw one) risers. Started with an olive and later switched to an iso.
How'd I do? In three hours of blind casting I rose 12 fish, hooked (and landed ) four. Never got a single one of the refusers to look at a second fly. Saw one drift boat (courteous) and no other fishermen.
After my mandated rest period I set out to fish the BR. What was I thinking? It's Friday and anglers were as thick as maggots on a road side kill, filling up parking lots , rowing upriver in pontoon boats, and carrying kayaks over the RR tracks to launch and paddle across the river (to where I intended to fish). After three false starts, I pulled the plug and headed back to the "fishless" EB.
How'd I do? In two hours of fishing I rose 8 fish, hooked three and landed two. A few olives hatched but there was no spinner fall. There were no drift boats or other anglers to be seen.
Would you take that kind of day?
